Abdullah Cannot Understand Why Mohd Saiful Is Being Linked To His In-Law's Family

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Thursday he could not understand why suddenly the name of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, a former aide of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who had alleged he had been sodomised by the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor, was being linked to his in-law's family.
"Why is this being brought up... there is no reason for this. Whether it is true or not is also not known yet," he said.
The Prime Minister said this when asked to comment a report on a blog which claimed that the stepfather of Mohd Saiful, 23, had family ties with his daughter-in-law.
Earlier, Abdullah had chaired the inaugural meeting of the implementing authority of the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) at his office in Parliament here.

Anwar Trying To Divert Public Attention From Sodomy Case, Says Muhyiddin

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- The claim by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim that four Barisan Nasional members of parliament would join the opposition was made to divert public attention from the sodomy allegation against him, Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.
He said the four persons had since denied Anwar's claim.
"The main issue now is regarding him (Anwar). He is named in the sodomy report and the police are investigating. That is the issue."
However, Muhyiddin added that the sodomy allegation against Anwar should not be made a political issue and invite the involvement of the United States.
"Why should we mix our personal matters with political issues and involve the superpowers? Malaysian affairs are our internal affairs."
Muhyiddin said the alleged government conspiracy and interference by other countries should not be taken lightly as it involved the country's image and dignity.
